Neko Albel Chapter 2: The Albel Factor
After a quick visit to that bar on the east side of Preterny, Cliff happily made his way back to the inn that he and his group had been staying at for the past few days due to Sophia's little accident. 'Hahahaha now I have the perfect plan to make Albel drink this stuff!' He thought.
FlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashbackFlashback
Cliff walked through the streets of Preterny after getting the potion from the old man. As he walked Cliff tried to think up a plan to get Albel to drink the 'Neko Potion', as the old man had called it. If he tried to force the wicked one to drink it, Cliff would most likely be found some time later, dead in an alley or river.
Also Cliff wasn't sure that Albel trusted him enough to drink anything that he offered, much less any thing such a strange color. ( A/N: Blue is such a pretty color….)
At that point Cliff had just started noticing his surroundings, and he was conveniently standing next to a bar. "Hmmm I think I have an idea…"
Cliff stepped into the bar and walked over to the counter. "Hi bar keep," Cliff said to the burly man behind the counter. "Why hello Cliff have a seat!" Cliff sat down in front of the bar keep.
Looking up Cliff saw a bottle full of blue liquid, almost identical to the Neko Potion.
"Here for another drink Cliff?" the bar keep asked. Cliff thought a moment. "Not really bar keep, I've got something to take care of this evening and I'll most likely need a clear head."
The bar keep gave Cliff a knowing look. "Well ok then…"
"Hey bar keep, what's in that bottle over there?" Cliff pointed to the bottle with blue stuff in it. "Oh this bottle?" The bar keep took down the bottle. "Yep, that one," Cliff confirmed. The bar keep sighed as he looked at the bottle. "This is called Devil's kiss. It's pretty strong stuff. Would you care to try some?" Cliff looked at the bottle before answering. "Sure why not. Just a little bit won't hurt will it?"

It was now two hours later, and Cliff was almost at the inn, with the Devil's Kiss bottle filled with the Neko Potion. He looked up to the second floor window and saw that Fayt was still staring out at nothing. 'Man, I wonder if he's been like that since I left.' Cliff thought to himself.
He walked into the inn ignoring the other people who were also staying in rooms in the inn. As he walked down the first floor hall, Cliff passed the room in which Sophia and Nel had been staying in. Nel was the only person who could really stand Sophia's annoying behavior, and Sophia was the only person who couldn't complain about Nel's odor.
As Cliff reached the end of the hallway he could hear Maria and Mirage, who had apparently returned before Cliff, talking about something. While walking up the stairs at the end of the hallway, Cliff wondered if Albel was back from where ever it was that he went this morning. 'Probably not,' he answered himself.
Finally Cliff reached the second floor. He walked to the closed door to Fayt's room and knocked. "It's open" was Fayt's reply. Opening the door Cliff stepped into the dimly lit room. He walked over to where Fayt sat and put his hand on Fayt's shoulder.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Fayt turned around and smiled weakly. "I'm just fine." Cliff frowned at Fayt's response. "No your not, your paler than you normally are, and when was the last time you ate anything?"
Fayt blushed when his stomach betrayed him by growling loudly. "Umm I think the last time I ate was yesterday, maybe." Cliff gave Fayt a stern look (A/N: I'm not really sure if Cliff could actually pull off the whole 'stern look' though.) "Fayt you've spent enough time being depressed, at least for today. Go get something to eat before I have to drag you down to the kitchen."
Fayt sighed and looked out the window once more. "Let me guess, he hasn't come back from killing stuff yet?" Cliff looked at Fayt. "No, he hasn't. I'm starting to get a little worried."
"No worries little guy, I'll go bring him back for you safe and sound!" Cliff thumped his chest and turned to walk out the door. He almost didn't hear the small "Thank you" that Fayt uttered before he was down the stairs.

As it just so happened, Albel was in the field in between Preterny and Aquios when Cliff found him. He was just pulling his katana out of a dissipating enforcer, when he caught sight of the blonde.
"What do you want worm?" Albel asked as soon as Cliff was in hearing distance.
"Nothing at all," Cliff replied. "Fayt was worried so I came to find you." Albel seemed a little surprised at the last part of that sentence.
"Hmph. That fool has no reason or business to be worried about me." He swayed a little and Cliff almost took a step closer.
"Stay away from me maggot!" Albel yelled. "You seem to be a bit tired, why don't you drink this to recover a little bit?" Cliff held up the "sealed" bottle of "Devil's Kiss". "Hmph. Normally I wouldn't take any drinks from the likes of you, but I happen to be fond of that particular beverage." He slowly walked towards Cliff and stopped about two or three feet away from him.
He raised his sword. "If there's anything funny in this, you should know that I will kill you. Slowly and painfully." He took the bottle and opened the cap, next he poured a drop on the ground to check if it was acid or something. Then he sniffed it to determine if it smelled rancid or something.
Cliff held his breath as Albel took a small sip. Soon the entire bottle was empty. "Ummm did you like it?" Albel gasped for breath. (A/N: Hehheh how funny this sounds when read from a perverted mind…)
The next thing Cliff knew the bottle was on the ground and there was a medium sized cat in front of him. The cat was mostly brown but the tips of his (her?) ears were blonde. "I'm guessing the potion worked. So your Albel right?"
The cat responded by hissing at Cliff while trying to claw his eyes out. "Yup, definitely Albel." He tried to pick the Albel kitty up, but it ran away. So he did the only thing he could think of. He threw a rock.
The rock hit Albel squarely on the head, and Albel Kitty fell over. "Ok listen here mister. I'm going to trim your claws first."
When Cliff was done doing that, he continued. "Now that you're awake you can listen to me. The only thing you need to know is that you won't turn back until you confess your (non-fictitious) love for Fayt. Got that?" The cat slowly nodded giving Cliff the Kawaii Death Glare.
Cliff laughed and picked up Albel, walking back to Preterny. "Hmm now what am I going to tell Fayt?"
Dum Dum Dummmmmmm.
